I am 10 games into the season and on of the "coaches" said Cain was tired and could use a day off. I stuck Dyson in his spot. And what does he do???....First at bat he pulls a ball down the right field line that gets out over the wall right along the white foul line but so short that it goes right under the foul poll! If I would have hit is any shorter or more right it wouldn't have been a homer. He was player of the game for that sweet dinger.

baseball and football games are ****ing stale right now. NBA is on the up and up, i dont play hockey so cant comment on that sport. I hear its good though.

Hate the NBA so I will never buy that nonsense. Thought I was going to retire NHL 13 for the Show. Needed a new game since GTAV has been pushed back 'til the fall. And yes, NHL13 is amazing. Baseball games have sucked since EA stopped making them. Never played the NCAA MVP version, but I would settle for that at this point. EA had baseball right just dont know what it is, but after 1 game of the Show Ill be looking to sell it.

I've been playing the RTTS mode on this game. Made a RF, made the 25 man roster after one year, but haven't cracked the starting lineup. I've struggled with the transition from AAA to the MLB though. Anyone got any hitting tips?

Since your contact and power is probably pretty terrible still since you only spent 1 year down in the minors I would probably look at everything unless its right down the middle or you have 2 strikes.

I have the Vita version, I started in the Royals org hit 616 with over 100 homers in double A my first year. Never got called up and eventually traded to the Braves. Just finished Spring Training in the Majors and hoping the dumbass game will let me stay in the pros. More than likely it was just the Royals making stupid decisions. I deliberately chose 2nd base because the Royals obviously need one and they stated I was ready to be called up but Chris Getz was just too awesome.

Take less money. Always take the min, since it doesn't matter anyway, and helps you ZERO amount in the game. Just keeps you better and CHEAPER than the Chris Getzes of the world.

It's been my experience that you get thrown more strikes when your contact and those other less specific attributes are really low (patience/discipline/whatever)... When those are low, pitchers apparently don't think you'll do very well with balls over the plate, so they bring it. Which means, it's REALLY hard to take walks early in your career. They seem to be painting the black all the time. The truth is, they're grooving balls to a weak hitter, and missing by a few inches (which is the black). You'll stike out looking if you're not aggressive early in your career. Once you have some attributes up, the pitchers will be afraid to pitch you down the middle, and you'll be able to draw more walks.

I signed for minimum, it was the Royals. The Braves have me on their roster to start the season, so I guess the game is INCREDIBLY realistic.
